Thanks for the kind words - I have been here for just over ayear - and it is a great source of info. I usally start a thread when I have a problem within a campaign and then follow it through as in Irish Quandry. I have always found that there are lots of good people like Martok willing to chip in with excellent advice. if you are fairly new to the game, I would recomend all the faction guides - I have found them to be really useful.

When I played the Saxons, the Vikings turned up in Cantware. i would recomend building boats there ASAP to keep the Vikings at bay. If they do turn up try and have some archers about so you can sit on a hill and pepper any berserkers as they die nicely under missiles. Their huscarles you can counter with yours or just try and overwhelm them with numbers.

Be warned - I have found these bulletein boards to be nearly addictive as MTW!! - enjoy
